Dr. Haikal was one of the best doctors who has treated my mother thus far. Not only is he kind, but he takes his time to ensure you understand his plan of action. We are bilingual but Dr. Haikal made sure to explain everything in Spanish so my mother would have a better understanding of her condition. I appreciated how he focused on her (and not solely on me, her caretaker). We did not feel rushed and most importantly we felt that he truly cared about my mother's symptoms. Additionally, his office was very clean and all the team (from the receptionists to the medical assistant) were very professional and kind. I would 100% recommend anyone in need of a rheumatologist to this office.

Dr. Ammar Haikal, MD was absolutely great. He listened to me and asked questions. I wasn’t rushed out and felt heard. He sent me for appropriate tests right after my appointment. I highly recommend Dr. Haikal.
